464 Mr. E. Meyrick on the classification 



42. Nausinoe, Hb. 

 Face flat, oblique ; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 about one, in ^ filiform or serrate, ciliated (^ — 1) or simple. 

 Labial palpi moderate or rather sliort, subascending, second joint 

 with long dense projecting scales beneath, terminal joint concealed. 

 Maxillary palpi short, thick, apex somewhat penicillate. Abdomen 

 in ^ with slender anal tm^t. Anterior tibiae and tarsi in ^ some- 

 times clothed with long dense hairs ; riiiddle tibiae in <? sometimes 

 containing tuft of hairs in groove; posterior tibiae with outer spurs 

 one-half to four-fifths of inner. Fore wirgs with veins 2 and 3 

 in ^ sometimes stalked from angle of cell, 7 from near 9, 8 and 9 

 stalked, 10 closely approximated to 9 towards base. Hind wings 

 over 1 ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 3 and 4 in ^ sometimes 

 sinuate so as to enclose a transparent space at base, 7 out of 6 near 

 origin, anastomosing with 8 to one-fourth to two-fifths. 



Allied to Antigastra, and probably a development 

 from Ischnurges. It consists of a few species, scattered 

 generally tbrougliout warmer countries, some of tliem 

 having an exceedingly wide range. Plialangiodes, Gn., 

 Lepgrodes, Gn., Synclera, Ld., and FJdmphalca, Ld., are 

 included here. The following species are without the 

 hairy legs or eccentricities of neuration which are shown 

 by some others : —

 ^Bleusei, Obertli. 



43. EucLASTA, Ld. 

 Face flat, oblique; ocelli distinct ; tongue developed. Antennae 

 over one, in ^ ciliated (1), with angularly projecting scales at 

 joints. Labial palpi moderate, porrected, with dense projecting 

 scales, narrowed to a point forwards, terminal joint concealed. 

 Maxillary palpi very short, thick, apex loosely penicillate. Abdo- 

 men in 3' loi^o) with moderate anal tuft. Posterior tibiae with 

 outer spurs about one-third of inner. Fore wings with vein 7 

 from near 9, 8 and 9 stalked, 10 closely approximated to 9 towards 

 base. Hind wings 1 ^ ; veins 3, 4, 5 approximated at base, 7 out of 

 6 near origin, anastomosing with 8 to two-fifths. 



Derivable from Nausinoe ; a small Indo-Malayan 

 genus, extending into Asia Minor and Australia.
